Eternal God, my soul we

Secure within Thy care,
Lnd when by many trials
pressed,
Find all its comforts there.
'I need no love but thine to
make
My pathway sure and right;
dream in darkness, but awake
To find the morning bright. 4
Or, if the mist hangs weeping
still
Uponthe trees of day,
rest me simply in Thy will
Until they pass away.
But keep not silence, 0 my I
God!
Let me Thy glory see;
kather to bow beneath the rod t
Than dwell apart from Thee. I
I need the sunshine of Thy I

E'en through a mist of tears,
se I should stray, like Noah's
dove,
Upon a sea of fears. , 1

Ah. restless! no more distrust
Thy Father's tender care, Y

And God is everywhere."

Cotton is opening fast and I
odder-pulling is now in order. t
Late coru crops are going to

Cotton is going to be shorter

short cotton crop and a lowr
